THREE-WAY NATURAL-GAS BURNER.

Application filed July 11,

To aLZ whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, James ONEIL, a citizen of the United States,residing at Lawrenceville, in the county of Lawrence and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inThree-Vary Natural-Gas Burners, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention relates to an improvement in three-way natural gas burners,and its various objects are to attain cheapness of construction, economyin the consumption of gas, and compactness of parts whereby it occupiesa minimum amount of space in the fire-box of a stove, so that in case ofthe failure of gas, other fuel such as wood and coal, may be usedwithout removing theburner.

Further objects are to provide a burner which may be easily installed inan ordinary stove, and to provide aburner made in a single casting.

l'Vith these objects in view, this invention consists in certain novelfeatures of construction and combinations of parts which will behereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings :I*igure 1 is a view in side elevation, andFigs. 2 and 3 are transverse sections at different points.

A, B, and C, represent pipes, all three of which are preferably casttogether with spacing means 1, 1, between them at intervals, and heldtogether by union 2 at the supply end of the burner. The intermediatepipe is offset at or near the center, and the shorter pipe A is thusbrought into alinement with the outer end of pipe B being located in theoffset. in pipe B. Pipes A and B are perforated at the top and throughthese perforations the gas issues upward, whereas the lower pipe C isperforated at the side to throw the flame laterally. Pipe A is intendedfor one lid over the fire-box of the stove or range, and pipe B for theother lid, whereas pipe G is adapted for heating the oven or waterback,or both. One of the pipes, preferably pipe or burner C is provided witha Specification of Letters Patent.

tee 5 at the one end as a-means of securing the burner in position inthe stove or range.

It will be observed that the pipes are all in a vertical plane, onedirectly above another, thus occupying a minimum space in the firebox.At the same time the pipes are cast without partitions or othercomplications while at the same time they are formed in a singlecasting. Each burner is connected with a separate valve (not shown)making it possible to have one or all of the burners lighted at the sametime. In this way I provide a three-way natural gas burner to be used inany ordinary wood or coal cooking stove or range, and it would be asmall matter to make it a four-way burner by adding another pipe similarto pipe U.

It is evident that more or less slight changes might be made in the formand arrangement of the several parts without departing from the spiritand scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to limit myself tothe exact construction herein set forth, but

I'Iaving fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is 1- 1. A natural gas burner comprising aplurality of vertically alined perforated pipes one pipe otl'set at ornear the center, and another pipe located in the recess formed by theoffset in alinement with the outer end of the pipe having the offset.

2.. A natural gas burner comprising a plu rality of vertically alinedperforated pipes one pipe offset at or near the center, another pipelocated in the recess formed by the olfset in alinement with the outerend of the pipe having the offset, and one pipe having a tee forsecuring the burner in the stove or range.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES ONEIL.
